Description
Change the Name of the Days is an artist's book designed by the American artist David Horvitz. Thirty-two lessons and short teaching units were developed by David Horvitz, artist and father, with the help of his 5 year old daughter.
In the tradition of conceptual action books, David Horvitz has created a long poem inviting us to delve in the depths of the imagination. To play and learn with the notion of <<guide someone through the sounds of the world around you>> and discover the immateriality of the elements that constitute the world.
From <<welcome the night into your house>> to <<exchange breaths with a plant>>, this publication by JBE Books, in association with Yvon Lambert, is also an opportunity to develop a performative action for each lesson and to constitute your own personal collection of poetic instruments.
The book is enriched with a text by Natilee Harren, researcher and Fluxus specialist.
